AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Never really understand the point of criticising clubs because of the number and/or makeup of their fans. Either it's an accident of geography or it's relative to success, either way it's not really a point of competition between clubs. The only reason we don't have more Essex-based glory hunters is that we don't have any glory. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzle Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Its partly about taking the piss out of the fans from Essex etc. isn't it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Never really understand the point of criticising clubs because of the number and/or makeup of their fans. OK, what shall we sing about then? How good their players are? How efficient the Manchester Metrolink is? They've styled themselves on being a proper working class club for local supporters, compared to their big 'Franchise FC' neighbours and now they're going the 'global brand' route, can we not take the piss without getting essentialist about it?

OzzieMandias Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I know plenty of people from Manchester, and some of them are red and some of them are blue. The idea that it was only Man City had a local following while Man U fans were all from Essex or Thailand was never any more than a wind-up. And yes, Man City will now have their share of glory-hunters, too. In fact that's the whole point of the investment, from Abu Dhabi's point of view. I don't think they'd get away with something like that cheeky Tevez "Welcome to Manchester" billboard now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzle Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 The 'Welcome to Manchester' thing was because Man City is the only 'Manchester' club in Manchester wasn't it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wacko Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Everytime they win it pisses of Man Utd. That'll do for me. Me, too. Until it's them standing in the way of our long-overdue league victory. Not holding breath. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until it's them standing in the way of our long-overdue league victory. Not holding breath. It's only a matter of time before both clubs are as bad as each other. I'm all for Man Utd getting a kick up the arse, but soon enough it will be sickening to watch either of them winning anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Chubby Jason Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 How long do they have to stem this before financial fair play comes in? They just seem to be merrily ignoring that it's on the horizon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
